Jessica Albarn's book, The BoyInThe Oak, was
published inSeptember 2010.

Damon Albarn has composed a score
for his sister Jessica's upcoming short film, The Boy In The Oak.
The film is directed by Luke Losey and is based on
Jessica Albarn's recently published story book of the
same name.

Jude Law is reportedly
narrating the film, which is due to get its first
screening later this year (most probably in the UK
only).

Director Luke Losey
described the film to Shots
[link down] in November: "It's a Pan's Labyrinth-esque, dark
fairytale about a neglected boy whose anti-social attitude
to nature lands him in trouble with the fairies in the
woods, who imprison him in an oak tree for eternity."

The pilot for the film was
shot in October and apparently the filmmakers are hoping
to find morefunding to complete the
project.

"It's all been supported by Alcove
Entertainment and our hope is that with this little
snippet [the pilot] we can raise money to develop the
feature," said Losey.
